    We only had 6.7% chance to get the #10 pick. Basketball gods plotting again, trying to mislead everyone. Let's wait and see what they've got for us.

    2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

    Yeah, we keep hearing "This is a bad draft," but it usually doesn't mean much. History has shown there are stars and great players in every draft, and with a very few exceptions, we don't know who they are until a few years after the draft as you said.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Exactly my thoughts. Would be so much fun to watch the Jazz battling now in the playoffs the way the Knicks are.

    In that game Heat shot 53.5 3P%.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Boston was the best team this regular season by a country mile. They lost last night because their 3-point game, their biggest strength, was ice cold (3P% 22.9) whereas Cleveland was hot from the 3-point line (3P% 46.4). Simple as that.

    2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

    This thought put a smile on my face. If Hungry Kenny learns to shoot 3s (even average), look out. I love this guy because he plays a team game, i.e. he is a willing passer and has a natural eye for playmaking.

    Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jazz were interested in Ingram. I was thinking of our cap space if we extend Lauri, but getting rid of Collins salary would obviously open up things.

    This video clip is nothing more than cherry picking. Fast offense leaves defenders standing. Happens in every basketball game. I like Brandon. He is obviously not enough but a good building piece or a placeholder. Not sure what his price would be though if he’d be willing to come to Utah and...

    Agree 100%. And well-coached. I'm rooting for them as well.

    The Knicks-76ers series was intense. Great basketball to watch. And Brunson was terrific again last night.

    Best Playoff Outcomes for Jazz Trades

    Yes we all speculate sometimes, but often it has little value because it is speculation. You talked about next season, but because developing a contender takes more than one season, we obviously need to look beyond that. I hope next season (or this summer) we try to find a star-level player who...

    Best Playoff Outcomes for Jazz Trades

    So you changed your mind. Now you say we can get to the playoffs without blowing this thing up. That’s great. But there’s no point speculating how well we would do in the playoffs because we don’t know what pieces we would’ve added and what the other teams would have next season, and the season...

    How about great talent? With our assets we might be able to do it when Lauri is still with us.

    Well, you said Danny is dishonest "all the time”. And what if "lot of talent" we add is great talent? We still wouldn't make the playoffs?

    "Ainge is intentionally dishonest all the time" - Lol sounds a bit too harsh don’t you think? "I just don't think we have enough to make the playoffs with Lauri even if we make a lot of trades and acquire a lot of talent" - Not sure how you came up with this, but I got to disagree with you...

    Drafts are tough. I don't think we can be certain that the next two drafts (which we are now more familiar with) will be better than the drafts following them.

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 12 - Decoding Danny And If We Did It… Here’s How It Happened

    With every path filled with uncertainty, I personally prefer to see where the “add to Lauri” path can take us before we consider blowing the whole thing up. I mean we can blow it up later too. I’m hoping that at least one of the guys we drafted last year (and will draft this year) will become a...

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 12 - Decoding Danny And If We Did It… Here’s How It Happened

    A good episode again guys, although I was a bit surprised how much time you spent selling Lauri to other teams as I can’t see us trading him, at this point anyway, because we have so much assets ready to be used. We could be contenders in the next 3 years if we don’t trade Lauri. Maybe earlier...

    Devin Booker?

    "It's probably a year early." That's my thoughts on this too.
